Notes

Save some pasta water before draining; it's great for loosening the sauce later. Spice up with smoked paprika before serving for extra flavor. Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to three days; reheat gently. For a vegetarian version, replace shrimp and chorizo with veggies like mushrooms or zucchini.
